Wow, it was so good being a flaggie. At first i thought yeah, since i can't afford to run i might as well go flaggie, put a bit of effort in for our club cos' i remember back down PI no ones want to be a flaggie and i was wrapt being so close to all the action......

Watching Ben, Andrew, Chris, MR Brisby the AVOR33 flying pass was just so good. Sad to see GTREAL broke down a few times due to the cooler clamp ( last time he broke down was right in front of us ) but THE BEST OF ALL was this BEAST ...

anyone know who this is? Me and Dean ( a Rex official i think ) was hanging out just to see THE BEAST get back on track, this thing was FLYING.

Anyone know what mod it has, the front camber was crazy and ofcourse all of our members and the rexies was putting on a really good show. Now i know when its' the next track day and what to do when i can't affort to run :Pimp2:

a few more pics ..

racing there happens all the time from different clubs. SAU Vic tag along with the WRX track days - you can see a list of them on this page http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport/default.php

No more sandown track days for the rest of this year with WRX guys. Winton and calder are the only ones left this year. Coming into winter track days usually stop for a while.

Congrats to all the boys for getting some great times at Sandown.

The presence of SAU was excellent both on and off the track.

Pics to follow soon.

PS. On ya Brisby for showing everyone what the 32 could do. Still can't believe you were the only one still going at the end of the day - it just doesn't seem right!!!

Ni - yeah Brisby surprised us all - perhaps we should have more faith in him.

Aaron - thanks - it was hard work taking photos, shooting video footage and still being a semi-compotant flag marshall!!!

Oh yeah and if anyone wants one of the above photos - PM me an email addy and I can send you the full size version.

For obvious reasons it was the most fun ive had at a track day for a while...:D

Good work to Bec, West, Jarrod for flagging, :D

And for what its worth, for those that had mishaps, just remember swings and roundabouts so next time will be better:)

Main thing is not only did Gareth walk away from the acco, lol he drove away:)

Mate i dont know if there is anything i can do, bu im on holidays so let me know if you need a set of hands.

And truth be told i was hoping for a 1:27-1:26, the fact that the car easily dipped into the mid 1:25s i was a bit surprised myself, what surprised me more is that it did with smoking the inside tyre onto the two main straights, so with just the diff shimmed up i may go see if i can strangle a low 1:24 out of it:)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
